Expert Reviews

Campbell Mattinson & Gary Walsh (2008 Vintage) says

Affordable durif - and petit verdot for that matter _ is usually worth a punt. Often turns up trumps.
Look, it just sneaks in for a 90-point rating but the deliciousness factor is just so high that we had to give it a bonus point or two. It's not a 'fine wine' fit for members of the British aristocracy to cellar for decades. It's a fruity drink-now sort of wine of easy-going substance, and all power to it. Chewy tannin, chocolate and olive-like flavour, and a blackberried fruitiness. It's a wine most red drinkers will enjoy.
